Will swelling from a facelift and fat transfer performed at the same time cause loose skin?

Asked By:bocoxo1811 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

I'm planning a facelift and fat grafting from my body onto my face. Do you think it might be a better idea to do the fat grafting at a later time, once the post-op facelift swelling has gone away? Doing everything together sounds more convenient, but I'm worried that all the swelling after the facelift together with the grafted fat that in worst case may not stay, might stretch the newly tightened skin again and leave the face with some sag even after having these procedures.
